Verse 1:

Enchanted guests, they gather there

Drawn in from everywhere

Spirits of secrets kept, promises shared

To dance the homesick waltz

 

Verse 2:

Heavenly partners form their squares

And wait upon the call

To give his stately bow, her curtsey fair

To start the dazzling ball

 

Chorus:

Send them round once again

Allemande and begin

Forming a bridge of fingertips pressed

Upon the living again

Catch them as they fly

Seeds of mem'ries, times that have flowered and died

Changing partners, saving grace

Promenade home, dancing the homesick waltz

 

Verse 3:

Visions of a life gone by

They face her this way and that

He looks like a boy she lost       

When she was young

And he only a lad

 

Verse 4:

She calls to him, "come to me son.”

But he would rather play, and play, just play

Just watching him run

She gives her breath away

 

[Chorus]
